We are delighted and proud to announce that one of our Executive Committee members, Lubna Shuja, who is also a former Chair of SPG, is now the President of the Law Society of England and Wales.
She took up her new role at the Law Society AGM on 12 October 2022.
She is the first Asian, first Muslim and only the 7th female to become President since the Law Society was set up in 1825, almost 200 years ago.
Lubna has assiduously represented the interests of sole practitioners on the Law Society Council since 2013. She has been a member of the Law Society Board since 2018 and was the inaugural Chair of the Law Society’s Membership and Communications Committee for 3 years.
Lubna has her own firm, Legal Swan Solicitors, based in Birmingham. She is a sole practitioner specialising in professional discipline and regulation. She is also a mediator dealing with civil, contentious probate and family disputes.
We congratulate Lubna on her new position and look forward to supporting her, and working with her, over the coming year. She is keen to hear from members on any issues that they may wish to raise and can be contacted direct on Lubna.Shuja@lawsociety.org.uk
